How does a farmer celebrate Passover? For California-based farmer Emily Freed, the seders offered the chance to celebrate both the Exodus from Mitzrayim and also the first glorious tastes of spring. Check out her beautiful photo journal below the jump.

Freed’s journey from began with her transportation of chametz to a friend’s house around the corner – by bicycle of course!

Everyone is invited to the fifth annual “Seder in the Garden” at the UCSC Alan Chadwick Garden. The outdoor/garden seders are magical and remind us of how blessed we are to live and work in such an amazing place right on the ocean.
